The battle of Luodian in the battle of Songhu from August to November in 1937 was the first Anti Japanese war in which he led his troops. At that time, he was the commander of the 18th army of the national army. He led the officers and men under his command to fight in Luodian and Baoshan, repeatedly competing with the Japanese army. "Three coming and three going", "ten swings and ten decisions", "one bullet, one enemy, one inch of river and mountain, one inch of blood", can be called "blood mill"! He was able to devise strategies and command the Japanese army as if they were determined. Even the Japanese army failed to cross the Liuhe and Jiading lines, so he was promoted to head of the 16th army, deputy commander in chief and commander in chief of the 15th group army.

The Wuhan battle was held in June 1938. The National Army invested more than one million troops and the front stretched thousands of kilometers. During this period, Luo Zhuoying was unique: he was appointed to the 19th group army, Wuhan garrison commander and General Commander of the 5th Corps many times in the face of crisis, and completed his service in many war zones and provinces. When Xinyang was lost, Chiang Kai Shek asked Luo Zhuoying, "how many days can Wuhan be kept?" He firmly replied, "two weeks should be safe." Jiang was very happy and ordered: "you can keep it for ten days." He really lived up to his heavy trust and covered a large number of military, civilian and materials in Wuhan to complete the safe and orderly evacuation and transfer.

In the battle of Nanchang in February 1939, the Japanese army assembled the army, the air force and the navy to fight together, and formed a powerful mechanized attack force to attack on a large scale. Luo Zhuoying, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the 9th theater at that time, meticulously deployed troops, set up a bureau for defense, and made a preemptive attack. "He stood up in spirit to fight against traitors and kill the enemy. It was hard for him to be brave.". After nearly three months of fierce fighting, due to the strength of the enemy and the weakness of our cooperation, we are on the verge of success.

From March to April 1941, in Shanggao County, Jiangxi Province, Luo Zhuoying personally led the officers and men of the 19th group army. He shared a common hatred with the local people and made several adjustments in strategic deployment. He created a successful example of "changing the internal line encirclement into the external line anti encirclement" in the Anti Japanese war. He successfully defeated two divisions and a mixed brigade of the Japanese army. The total number of enemy casualties reached more than 15000, and he also destroyed, sank or injured the enemy troops Bombed airplanes and motor boats and seized a large number of booty. The battle was hailed as "comparable to the great victory of Taierzhuang" and "the most wonderful battle since the Anti Japanese War". He himself was also praised by the highest authorities.

From September 1939 to January 1942, the Japanese army launched three successive crazy attacks on Changsha, Hunan Province. At that time, Luo Zhuoying, former commander in chief of the enemy in the 9th theater and commander in chief of the 19th group army, directly commanded the armies in northern Jiangxi to defend against the enemy in the early stage, launched an extremely fierce summer offensive in the middle stage, and finally led his troops to guard the crossing river strongholds in Dongshan and Langli City, forming a hundred mile flanking attack and cutting off the retreat of the Japanese army. When the enemy was defeated and fled to the north, he served as the commander-in-chief of the pursuit army. He carefully raised funds, pressed the poor invaders, and showed his power. Finally, "our army and people worked together to build the Japanese invaders' tomb on the Bank of Liuyang River"!

At the beginning of 1942, Luo Zhuoying became the first commander of the Chinese expeditionary army, commanding 100000 troops. He crossed the country in the order of large regiments, galloped in Myanmar, cooperated with the allies, and fought in foreign lands, which was of great significance. Although "Tonggu great victory", "ren'an Qiang great victory" and "Dongzhi great victory" were performed in succession within a few months, they failed due to complex battlefield factors. He led his troops to India and served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese army in India. He was responsible for training Anti Japanese soldiers in ramga. Later, he was transferred back to China and served as the second commander of the military command department, the education chief of the southeast training regiment (Chiang Kai Shek was the head of the regiment) and the commander of the National Youth Volunteer Corps. He taught young expeditionary officers and soldiers carefully and took part in the counter offensive in northern Myanmar and Western Yunnan in the future, winning the final victory of the Anti Japanese war.

To sum up, there are more than 100 battles in the Anti Japanese battlefield. Luo Zhuoying, with his national righteousness of protecting the country, indomitable steel will and brave fighting spirit, has completed the sacred duty of "military career in the battlefield", realized the glorious dream of "spreading power across the Pacific Ocean", and composed a powerful anti Japanese war song!

After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, he was appointed chairman of Guangdong provincial government at the end of August 1945. He was promoted to general in 1946. one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven
